I am going to refrain from giving this a rating for now, as I didn't read the entire book. Sadly, I'm setting this book aside. It seems overly detailed and I wasn't appreciative of hearing about all the 'drinking' party exploits that went on during Wight's vet school years. Maybe the biography gets better as the book progresses but it isn't holding my attention currently. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:No one is better poised to write the biography of James Herriot than the son who worked alongside him in the Yorkshire veterinary practice when Herriot became an internationally bestselling author. Now, in this warm and poignant memoir, Jim Wight talks about his fatherâ??the beloved veterinarian whom his family had to share with half the world. Alf Wight (aka James Herriot) grew up in Glasgow, where he lived during a happy rough-and-tumble childhood and then through the challenging years of training at the Glasgow Veterinary College. The story of how the young vet later traveled to the small Yorkshire town of Thirsk, aka Darrowby, to take the job of assistant vet is one that is well known through James Herriot's internationally celebrated books and the popular All Creatures Great and Small television series. But Jim Wight's biography ventures beyond the trials and tribulations of his father's life as a veterinarian to reveal the man behind the storiesâ??the private individual who refused to allow fame and wealth to interfere with his practice or his family. With access to all of his father's papers, correspondence, manuscripts, and photographsâ??and intimate remembrances of all the farmers, locals, and friends who populate the James Herriot booksâ??only Jim Wight could write this definitive biography of the man who was not only his father but his best friend.
